Now back to CF :)
I got the call yesterday I have been waiting for. I can start the Inhaled Cipro study yay!!!!!!!!!!! The coordinator of the study and my DR both feel I am a good candidate for the drug so I am in!!! I am super excited and will meet with her on the 4th when I go to see my DR. I am not sure how long the study last or any details but she is going to go over everything that day. I know I will be getting blood work, x-rays, and a pregnancy test to make sure I am not prego. I wonder if telling them I haven't had sex in 3 months will settle their minds about it LOL!!!! She apologized for the delay. It has been a few weeks since I spoke with her (ok like 6) but she mentioned that they ran into some snags getting it approved. Dam FDA :) But it's up and running now and I am going to be a part of it. Of course barring any setbacks when I go like lower FEV1, and need of an admission I will be set. So fingers crossed I can still do it!!!

I hadn't had sex in 2 YEARS and they still made me do a pee/pregnancy test EVERY FRIGGIN' STUDY VISIT. I told them that if they discovered I was pregnant, it would be the 2nd immaculate conception. "ha ha ha...here's your cup!" So annoying.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! :D
Inhaled Cipro!! That's exciting! Do you know what the FEV1 requirements are for this?
ReplyDeleteVery happy to hear you are in the study. A big thank you from me, because people who participate in these studies are helping everyone with CF!

Lol, I have you beat Rhi... I was 12, years from getting my period, and far from having a boyfriend and still had study related monthly preggers tests!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Congrats on getting into the study!
ReplyDeleteI'm in a study right now and every single month they ask what my method of birth control is, and I just say that my hubby is deployed. Then they check the "abstaining" box and I remind them that it is NOT by choice! :)
